Trippin'

This movie is truly funny, not a waste of time or overladen with cheese. There are horrible cliches in the plot and a totally worthless subplot but they don't drag on too long. The main character played 'Bud' on the Cosby Show way back in the day. There are a ton of laugh out loud jokes. The dream sequences are hilarious, especially the army dream, and the women in this movie are gorgeous and all that good stuff. Rent this bad boy and watch it with friends. If you're a pimp, watch it with your hoes.

Deon Richmond is anxious to get to the prom, but his parents are of no help. They want him to apply to college, but he's just been drifting through, dreaming about getting together with Maia Campbell, working his low-paid job at the rib joint, and fantasizing about being various things -- rap star, war hero, and so forth.

It's the sort of comedy in which the losers turn out to be winners because the apparent winners are awful, like Animal House. As such, it hits all the plot points, and for a bit just before the end, seems to have some heart. It's in the earlier parts, when we see his fantasies and how they are punctured that it fails. They're so over-the-top and even gross that I could take no pleasure in them. Richmond seems to be a competent performer, and perhaps witha better script, he might have attained the peribathos the situation calls for. Unfortunately, it is what it is.

A classic high school film in the mold of the John Hughes pics from the '80s. Decent story aided by good performances and some great jokes. You'll never look at fried eggs the same way again. Load granddad up with pork and enjoy.

oh does enyone remember the bit where june tryes to hook fish up with some girl

This is one of my favourite comedies even though it is a little more low budget than most. I enjoyed it because of the hilarious characters in the movie like the grandfather, and Greg himself, also Greg's daydreaming scenes are hilarious. I found it to have a realistic portrayal of African American families,unlike some movies and tv shows that display black families differently and wrongly. This is another reason why I enjoyed the movie, I could relate to a lot of the characters in the movie and everybody was simple and down to earth. I will never get tired of watching this movie, it is great. It is not a comedy for everyone, that's for sure. To really enjoy this movie you would probably have to be able to relate to the characters, if not you won't find the humour in it. For a low budget movie, it is really funny!
